New description:

 As title. !ImageMagick should be called with `-dispose Background`,
 because when you create an animation, Sage first creates a bunch of
 frames, then uses !ImageMagick to make an animated GIF out of them. If the
 frames are not all the same size, then !ImageMagick determines the minimum
 size for the final GIF in which it is possible to accommodate all the
 frames. The default behavior is to simply draw frame `n` over frame `n-1`
 without erasing frame `n-1`. When frame `n`'s image is smaller than frame
 `n-1`'s image, however, you get garbage in frame `n` outside the borders
 of the original image used to create frame `n`.
